Mom Helping First Hospital Visit First Brain Score

Stridor Baby Mom Helping First Hospital Visit Several times before we left for the trip, we let our imaginations run wild and dreamed of the possibility of being allowed into a hospital maternity ward to measure a Brain Scores and offer treatment if needed or desired by the mother.  Then Dr. Barry would say, “Let’s just focus on what we know we need to do.  God holds the plan.”   The plan, apparently, was for us to follow our OB/GYN student into the nearest  hospital and offer help where needed or desired. 

The first baby the two doctors treated had been born less than a day before.  The first few hours of life had been a fussy time for baby number one, and as the crying began Krissy and Mike noticed a distinct sound during the inhalation, strider breathing.  They have treated babies with that condition in their practice and indentified it immediately.  Before we left the ward, Krissy and Mike did a follow up treatment with him, knowing that often it takes more than one session to resolve symptoms. 

We moved all around the ward treating every baby we could.  Some mothers declined, another was a bit reticent about letting us continue once she heard her little one cry.  Any parent can sympathize with that.  Here we were, a group of strangers from out of town, reaching for babies when the moms are just barely over their anesthesia.  We knew there would be some confusion but we pressed on because we believe deeply in this work.
